151 Words of Glory


I WROTE TODAY! I just want to scream it from the top of my lungs. It's been a rough few weeks, and I finally got something out. Here are the 151 words that came out of my fingertips today...


Emma wedged herself in the slot of the parapet wall, her feet dangling over the edge. The little crow cawed next to her, taking her in with one beady black eye. She broke off a piece of bread, holding it out with a flat palm as the hard beak struck against her hand. While he was preoccupied with his meal, Emma stroked his soft feathers with the back of her fingers.
“Hungry little thing, aren't you?” She cooed softly, breaking off another piece. She heard the soft crunch of footsteps behind her, the bird flinching in response and letting out an irritated caw. She turned around, smiling as her eyes took in her brother. The crow strutted away, hopping intermittently, as Lance approached.
“Do you have to feed those things? I should of known you were feeding the crows.”
Emma scowled at him, dusting her hands of crumbs. “They’re my favorite.”



What about you? What did you write today?
